Get ready for Cassara, the man who delivers the hottest funky French House of the season! After two vinyl only releases, this Hamburg-based Italian-sound wizard now delivers his first EP that's guaranteed to make you move it. Cris Cassara has been around for a decade in the music business, sharing studios with fellows like Digitalism, writing serious pop songs and primarily being a great vocalist. He grew up with the disco and funk music of the 70s, but his love for Daft Punk and the French House scene of the late 90's with Fred Falke, Cassius and Superfunk brought him to nightly sessions in the studio, trying to decode the DNA of that legendary sound. The result can be enjoyed on the „La Vela EP“ and is packed with peak-time filler funky bombs, the baddest bass sound around and some serious grooves. Early supporters include Aeroplane and Satin Jackets who consistently include "Lady Leopard“, "The Forest“ and "La Vela“ in their sets.

Dimitri Kechagias review: The beloved label Soundcolours owned by the legends of electronic music Blank & Jones delivers well timed for summer the exceptional La Vela EP by the upcoming and quickly rising Cassara. La Vela EP contains 5 magnificent exquisite and highly summer charged tracks that will make the difference on any occasion that you may play them. Firstly is La Vela that he describes as Italian House. Its a wonderful slice of relaxing melodic deep house with strong repetitive synthy riffs, funky basslines and beautiful atmosphere that easily carry away your mind to your favourite seaside. Next is Lady Leopard that is moving on the same warm shinny sparkling house sound with beautiful disco choir vocals, funky sexy basslines and eargasmic grooves along with cool xylophone and synthy melodies. Very different style that is based on the addictive groove to work its therapy for mind, body and soul. The Forest starts with an ambient crowd intro while the main part is based on funky disco house groove along with cool vocal snippet and fantastic warm strings and simply infectious synthy themes. The Forest is 7 minutes mind trip that has soothing effect while you dance your sweaty body along. Seaside as the name suggests starts with melancholic vintage style synths while piano chords are adding along with guitar licks, warm strings, heavenly voices and very relaxing lazy slow sweet groove. The last tune is Fantasma that starts with quite thrilling melancholic vintage style melody coupled with funky guitar backed up with edgy greedy dark basslines, pulsating grooves and very mysterious classical music influenced theme in the breakdown followed by superb drop to finish nicely an exceptional EP! #PureGold Love it

The well known tribute project to the decade of unforgettable hits and music So80's is back with a very special project. Blank & Jones had the idea to reconstruct the classic ZTT record label classics that was founded in 1983 by NME journalist Paul Morley and legendary record producer/wizard of sonic Trevor Horn and businesswoman Jill Sinclair. The label's name was also printed as "Zang Tumb Tuum" and "Zang Tuum Tumb" on various releases. ZTT included in its rooster  seminal groups like Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Propaganda, and Art of Noise. Blank & Jones big fans and admirers of the original recordings decided to put their creative hands on them. What is so amazing and really outstanding on that project is that Only original multi parts were used to create the various new versions. No additional instruments, but lots of outtakes and extra sounds which Blank & Jones found on the original tapes. Trevor Horn himself has commented about this Blank & Jones initiative to reconstruct and introduce to the digital world the ZTT Golden classics: "I Love The Blank & Jones Work - awesome !" It's great album for all the older fans of the 80's but with Blank & Jones modern spin based on original analogue sounds and only with the addition of some echoes and reverbs the tracks sound current and ready to be enjoyed by the younger generation as well.
